		<description>Hi Annie! You really have to apply as a tourist and present the documents they request. If you don&#039;t have a COE or ITR then the only thing you can do is to try with whatever documents you have. You may present your inviter&#039;s documents. If the Embassy doesn&#039;t think it&#039;s not acceptable, they&#039;ll give it back to you. If they try to ask you for a COE or ITR, just tell them you don&#039;t have any because you&#039;re not working. You won&#039;t know unless you try.</description>

		<description>Hi annie! You&#039;ll have to show your ties to the Philippines. However, I can&#039;t really know if you&#039;ll get a visa or not. The best thing is to go there with all the documents that you can bring.</description>

		<description>You still need to supply the basic documents that the Embassy require for tourist visas. As for the invitation, it&#039;s only required if they inviter is a Korean national or you&#039;re the wife of a foreign inviter.</description>
